Managed to make a reservation with Tanzini under Originalo gift pack.
Before choosing Tanzini, did some google about this restaurant, and
it appears to be quite a 'quiet' place during lunch time. We wanted
for lunch, but apparently it is no more serving for the Originalo
gift pack, so, we booked a dinner table for 4, 2 adults and 2 kids.

Don't know why, maybe
due to some bloggers' review on this brand, I am fully confident with
it even I have yet tried the product (I think I got some sample
previously, but yet got the chance to try out the sample).

I was late with this
redemption, thought I won't be able to get one, but, seems like the
visitors to KLCC don't read Chinese newspaper ? I got mine, and it
was a fantastic of 3 bottles …. The sales assistant even put them
in a mini paper bag, really cute ….

Watson always has some surprises contest for the facebook fans. This round they were
having the contest of giving suggestion to Watson on how they can
improve their fanpage. So, putting up my thinking cap, there I wrote
some of my suggestion to them, unexpectedly, I was one of the winner
for the prize.

I need to plan a
trip down to Watson headquarter to collect the prize, reluctantly, I
took a day off to go to the heart of KL and get my prize.
Surprisingly, there I see the Originalo boxes. I have been given 2
boxes, that's really very generous from Watson for the prizes. A big
thank-you Watson.

Then, we started
to hunt for special experiences from the booklet. It seems a lot, but
it seems not enough option though. As we are very 'eating' person. So
we end up choosing 'makaning' as our target.

When I called up
the first restaurant, which is the Japanese restaurant, things go
pretty well. We didn't do any advanced book, indeed, we called to
reserve a seat 3 hours earlier, but we still managed to grab a seat.

However, the
experience for the 2nd booking is really very unpleasant.
The information in the booklet was outdated. Most of the restaurant
that we call in has changed their reservation criteria. Until I need
to make a complained to the customer service of Orginalo, glad fully,
their responses are pretty fast, and they do offer to assist us to
make the booking, oh for sure, it is not a cheap-e-lak package like
some of the 'Group---ong' thingy leh. At last we managed to grab one
of the choice restaurant and dine in.

What I can say,
it is value for money, and the feeling is definitely better than
buying group---ong and wonder how and what you will be treated later.
We were tread well as V.I.P.

The dining experience will follow later in another write-up.

Method: I was surfing
Ginvera fanpage (looking for Ginvera promotion on MarvelGel), but saw
the fan are asking for the Ginvera GreenTea BB Cream sample. So, I
wrote an email to the person in-charge, and just a few days later, I
got the sample dropped in my letter box. They are really fast in
customer service, great.

Method: A newspaper
redemption cutover in 1 of the local Chinese News Paper.

Link/Facebook:
www.astalift.com.my

Additional Information
: Apparently this is a high range $$ product, which I didn't know
about it until first saw the newspaper redemption. It is a product of
FujiFilm … yeah, kind of surprise.

I also taken the skin
tests and then product range test as well. The redemption is for the
whitening series, while I tested the product on the
anti-aging/special care range. Tested their star product, the Jelly
Aquacrysta
which cost around RM400++ for 40g, claim to be able to help
your skin to absorb for the next products that going to apply on the
face. My only comment on the test would be I don't really feel very
very oily (which I used to have) after applying so many product on my
face. But can't really tell anything else besides that.

I was having quite bad
skin problem due to unknown cause. I suspect it would be one of the
skincare product that I used that cause irritation on my face. Small
white heads grow healthily on my face, they are just too many until
my beautician was so worried about it !

I stopped all the
product as I was not sure which one causing the problem, and that
time also because I need to travel and in-need of only bringing
travel sized skincare, so I decided to give it a try on this Stem
Cell series.

For about a week of
fully usage of the range, apparently my white heads started to
disappear, or at least, they are shrinking !! Very amazing, especially I
am super sensitive to BB Cream, but this BB cream seems work well on
my face. Overall, I like this series very much. Only draw back would
be the packaging is big, but the content is actually quite little, so
it won't last long (say, less than 2 weeks usage).

The size of the sample
is pretty small, but I read the write-up details, seems like the one
with pepper can cure some joint pain and also muscle pain. My mum has
complained about it, so, I passed the sample to her to try on.

She found no allergy on
the soap, and of course, not noticing if there really reduce her
joint pain. But the toughest part is to get the soap back to
Penisular Malaysia because they yet have counter setup here. The only
way to get the soap is via internet order, with quite a high price in
postage, hope one day soon they will come to this part of Malaysia.
